Thoughts? 7 Year old beat to death

This is why we need the death penalty.

^ the death penalty is generally carried out in the most humane way possible, which is arguably too generous for these two. they should lose their lives in the same manner as the way this child lost his, and I’d bet there would be a line around the block to help execute (pun intended) this order.

This is even more gut-wrenching for a parent. For some reason the movie “The Road” came to mind when I read this article - same nauseating feeling.

Death penalty is too lenient in cases like this. Hopefully Bubba will take care of the guy in the showers.

I find it hard to believe that the parents were not under the influence when they did this. Both of them must have been hallucinating pretty badly to gang up on the poor child like this.

I hate these kind of stories. I just don’t want to know that this kinda thing happens.

In a strange way, I feel that the parents have already punished themselves. How low would you feel the next day knowing you’d killed your own son. You can’t sink any lower than that. Sad on every front this story.

Hey I just saw another one…first the Bible, then the Koran!

At first, I thought it was the same case with a typo for Koran instead of Bible! What is the world coming to?

The little mother fucker had it coming, not reading his bible an shit…

In all seriousness, this is the type of stuff that confirms my perception that life is nasty, brutish and short. So, essentially I don’t really give it much thought other then to be gratefull for all the good things that I have in my life.

poor little kid…

Wise words bodhisattva.

I prefer to focus on happy stories like the one below. Makes me realize there’s a lot we can all do to make this planet we live on a better place.

Although I’m an atheist, I hope there is a god so they can burn in hell.

Just another lovely day in the USA…

Well my immediate thought is he should have done his homework and read the bible like he was told, but his non-compliance obviously does not warrant a death sentence.

My thoughts? I think the stepmother and stepfather are some sick f*cks.

Good thing I did read the Bible and do my homework as a kid, but perhaps I would have worked a bit harder if I knew this could be an eventuality. Wow…just wow

This is why I am anti-religious!!!

And here is the UK version of this f*ked up story

Sorry, cleverCFA for bringing up another depressing tale

People like this dont deserve to live at all… Just throw them to feed the animals at national parks actually…

How dare you do that to animals?

I actually meant, throw them to the tigers/lions as feed… Poor english or Do you think they are worth not even that!
